Have you ever wondered why some oils sit on your hair like grease, while others disappear in seconds? The answer lies in your hair porosity—the ability of your hair shaft to absorb and retain moisture.

The Porosity Spectrum

• Low Porosity: Cuticles are tightly packed. High-molecular weight oils cannot penetrate and simply sit on the surface. Requires light oils like Jojoba, Sweet Almond, or warm Sesame.
• Medium Porosity: Cuticles are loose but healthy. Readily accepts most oils.
• High Porosity: Cuticles have wide gaps. Hair absorbs moisture instantly but loses it just as fast. Requires heavy, rich oils like Castor, Coconut, or Shea to seal the cuticle gaps.
